When news of Sandra's sentencing began to circulate, a photograph of The Duellists star posing with his current actress partner Hayley DuMond was used - and now Carradine is speaking out to address the error.

A statement released by Carradine reads: "In conjunction with the news of the sentencing of my ex-wife, Sandra Will Carradine, for felony perjury in connection with the Anthony Pellicano wiretapping case, (a) photograph of me and my wife, actress Hayley DuMond, has been circulated with no identifying caption.

"This has resulted in the misimpression that it is a photo of me and my ex-wife. It is, in fact, a picture of me and Hayley DuMond, my fiancee since 1997 and my wife since November 18, 2006."

Sandra Carradine was sentenced to 400 hours of community service, two years of probation and a $10,000 (£6,250) fine after confessing to paying Pellicano to investigate her ex-husband during a child custody dispute in 2001.

She also admitted lying under oath to a federal grand jury in 2004 to conceal Pellicano's wiretapping of her ex's phone calls.
